LinkedIn is a weird website, there is no denying it. Chances are you never used LinkedIn before college. LinkedIn is a bridge from university to the professional world. Once you’re ready to enter a career, LinkedIn becomes very important, and it is critical that you understand how to take advantage of this professional version of Facebook.
Making an account on LinkedIn is the easiest part. The next thing to do is start building your profile. In some ways, LinkedIn does look like Facebook, right down to filters on your profile picture, but approaching your LinkedIn profile like a Facebook profile will not do you much good.
